Semua Bab Blood and moonlight : Bab 31 - Bab 37

The mountain had gone quiet, but the fire hadn’t.Not inside them.With the gods sealed and the sky finally calm, they returned to the seer’s house — tucked deep in the forest, wrapped in ancient magic and thick silence.Everyone was exhausted. But no one was ready to sleep.The seer led them down a stone hallway. “Three rooms,” she said. “Rest. You’ve earned it.”Ava and Aya shared the first.Achi and Darius took the second.Marcus, still recovering, was given the third — quiet and warm.The doors closed.But the night? It was just beginning.⸻In Ava and Aya’s room…Candles flickered. Aya tossed herself across the bed like a queen on her throne, kicking off her boots.Ava sat at the edge, quiet for a moment, then glanced sideways.“So… you know how I said Achi was my mate?”Aya smirked. “Obviously. The way you melted into him like hot honey? Girl, please.”Ava rolled her eyes, biting her lip.“I want to explore it. Like… all of it. The bond. The fire. The intimacy.”Her voice droppe

The hallway was quiet.For once, there was no blood, no thunder, no screams — just silence, and the scent of rest.Ava walked slowly, her fingers lightly brushing Achi’s.Their shoulders touched as they reached the room the seer had set aside for them — warm with soft candlelight and the hush of peace.Achi opened the door for her.“After everything,” he murmured, “we deserve this.”She stepped inside, glancing at the bed.There were no royal sheets. No grand carvings.

Achi climbed in beside her and shifted closer, his body warm against hers.He wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her into his chest.“You good?” he whispered, his lips brushing her ear.“Mmhm,” she said softly. “This

The sun crept through the mountain fog, pouring soft light into the seer’s home like melted gold.Birds chirped.The house… groaned.Ava stirred first.She was warm — too warm — but she didn’t want to move. Achi’s arm was draped across her waist, his breath steady against her back, his body curved protectively behind hers.Her legs were still tingling.She smiled. Just a little.Last night still buzzed in her bones — like a soft echo. Achi hadn’t spoken much after. He’d simply held her tighter… and eventually kissed her shoulder until sleep took them both.Ava reached down and pulled the blanket up to her chin, cheeks flushed at the memory.⸻Across the house…Aya woke with her head on Darius’s chest, his heartbeat thudding against her cheek like a drum that had never known rest.His arms were wrapped around her — one hand still casually resting on her bare waist like he didn’t plan to let go anytime soon.She looked up at him.He was awake.Staring at the ceiling like a man who had j
